Cacao en poudre non sucré

Cacao en poudre non sucré (unsweetened cocoa powder) is derived from the seeds of Theobroma cacao after fermentation, roasting, and removal of most cocoa butter, resulting in a fine, dark brown powder rich in polyphenols such as flavanols and procyanidins. In cosmetic formulations, it is valued for its potent antioxidant activity, natural warm brown pigmentation, and characteristic chocolatey scent that can contribute to a product's fragrance profile. Formulators incorporate it into masks, scrubs, and body care products not only for its skin-conditioning and free-radical-scavenging properties but also for its strong consumer appeal and natural, indulgent sensory experience.
